For the coaching point, if some people were dubious about Bjerg (historically one of the best players in NA) becoming a coach, I don't think it's unreasonable to cast some doubt on much lesser players becoming coaches in practically the same way.
Except bjerg was basically known to be coaching tsm himself along with the coaches for multiple years so at least he’s more experienced than swiper and spookz
Imagine signing almost a full squad and then getting rid of the 1 part taht is actually unique from the rest of the league... That's some esports management right there.
Honestly this take needs to be talked about more. The knowledge gap at lower elos is insane. I've played on accounts in gold where people don't know how to freeze let alone when to shove the lane, when to slow push, and when to recall. Super frustrating as a jungler to see people not aware of their waves or where they are in the lane. There needs to be a video when you reach lvl 30 that is mandatory and maybe a quiz or smth that you're forced to take to make sure that people understand this stuff.
Dgon versus commenters needs some better flame so here we go- The show is awesome and all 3 of these guys work really well together. Did i do it right?
So just a thought: bring in analysts with expertise in different roles and go over specific narrow situations such as recalling to spend gold with baron threatened by the other team.
Around 20:00 Obfuscated means it is made unclear. What LS means is that these calls aren't unclear enough to justify needing communication. Players ought to know this clear easy stuff already and just do it. Like in hockey they don't need to constantly be talking to play the team game well. They know how each other play from practice. Communication is only needed when someone is does something the other player doesn't understand.
What LS talks about at roughly 29:00 relates to something I learned in college about motivation. You divide motivation into 2 categories, intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic is motivation that comes internally such as fun or whatever else is a motivating factor on a personal level and extrinsic is motivation that comes from external sources, in this case using money. What's really notable is how the two interact with each other on a psychological level when an extrinsic value is assigned to something that previously had an intrinsic value, the extrinsic value can replace it entirely. As a result you end up with money being the only factor motivating people and can causes severe burnout as extrinsic motivators are not good in providing long term motivation.
MonteCristo already gave us the answer. None of this is Papasmithy or Ryoma's fault because of secret behind the scenes things. But trust him, taking Damonte out at 9-3 and putting in Ryoma was the best solution and Damonte would have done worse.
@@joshpointoh They were 8-4. Sven said in his interview that in scrims he did try to replicate doinb style and got slaughtered. People forget that 100T got a lot of wins from just their synergy and allowing the other team to throw. They lost to GG of all teams. The floor of this team was really atrocious. The real issue is that your both options for mid lane is damonte and ryoma. The season is doomed.
@@Gurpreet-sv5zg even if they got slaughtered it seems way more worthy practicing than freaking out over, 1. That was scrims, and 2. Its a team play style not a solo person issue only, if even true
The role you're talking about at the end is General Managers. Issue is that are teams willing to pay them fairly to do that type of work. Right now it may be a monetary thing where they just wouldn't be paid fairly enough.
We need dom and the boys to talk about why poppy smithy hasn’t been investigated by DOM on nepotism. He is clearly favoring ryoma for some odd reason. Both Australian and OPL. Demonte is clearly the better mechanical player and ryoma seems to be destroyed on the champions they think he is better at than demonte. Demonte was the scape goat for the entire team playing like trash. Doesn’t help that Sommday and bot have been inting hard too. Closer hasn’t been performing at top level because of the mid situation. No mid jg synergy at all
@@caimemonteiro3844 i get that he died level 2 to a lb but it is Perkz... ryoma showed he was the worse player this series. Demonte gives carry potential imo. way higher upside
I actually thing Dgon has a good point about Tactical and Tristana, for the exact same reason dom says it isn't different. I think that because the champion is easy and has the possibility of resets and a long jump, that Tactical might be too comfortable going in when he really just shouldn't, however there isn't any excuse for the times he's been caught too far up in lane with no support.
I have to admit it bugged me when LS tried to use the word obfuscate. It's a verb. He should have used the word obfuscated, and even then obfuscated usually implies that something was intentionally hidden by someone else. I think the word he was looking for was opaque.
@@ThePolarpop yes you can be sad that they messed up. I as a TSM fan am dissatisfied with their performance. I believed TSM would either win or close a 5-game series. But fundamentally, you cannot be disappointed when you predict a sweep and the team outplays that prediction. That’s the exact opposite of disappointment. It makes no sense for them to preach how poor TSM played after talking about how they were outclassed by TL and C9 anyway.
It feels like Tactical had to prove himself last year as DLift’s replacement but now there’s no need for him to worry about job security because there’s no native ADC that they’ll replace him with. I’d say it’s complacency.
@@bomnitoperro9422 Aw, did i trigger you? Does it hurt knowing that your favorite player will get replaced? Tactical is doodoo and he will be replaced the second TL gets a chance.
@@bcsinfull nope but is a insensitive and ignorant way of seing a matter i understand that the average ls viewer has 0 capacity to understand this things but asuming so much shit about a person that you domt know... a profesional player with talent
@@bomnitoperro9422 Assume what shit? I'm not assuming anything about Tactical as a person. I'm making an educated guess, based on information thats widely available to everyone. Tactical is middle of the pack/above average adc in NA. That means hes bad on international stage. TL last couple of years were always maxed out on imports. Put 2 and 2 toghether, its not that hard.
serious question: Why did dgon stop LS from sharing competent analysts/coaches? I imagine these would be names of individuals who are currently not employed to do this sort of personnel consulting but are qualified...Is it because any teams/orgs who had turned them down or let them go would get upset? Seemed like a free plug, similar to saying X player from Academy is the real deal
This is before League Franchising and a massive induction of money into LEC and LCS. Also NALCS was considered worse than the other regions such as EU/LCK but there has since passed another 5yrs+ without success beyond whenever pr0lly left with Complexity dissolving into his time coaching H2K. OCE was still worse or nonexistant than NALCS during this period. So No it is still worse than pr0lly scenario.
Dom with the 200IQ take "if nepotism equals favoritism then favoritism must equal nepotism". Not really it's like with squares and rectangles - every square is a rectangle but not every rectangle is a square. I would agree that Inero has probably hired his buddies but the question for me is why shouldn't he? Because Dom doesn't like OCE coaches and thinks they had bad macro? A very solid argument indeed. In sport it's very common for the headcoach to hire his staff - people he trusts will do their jobs. Why in LoL it should be different? Why did TL also hire coach from OCE? There are 2 players from OCE in TL Academy I guess it looks like another case of "nepotism" to me. Dom really needs to investigate this! But wait they finished 2nd - I guess it's fine who cares...
srsly? spawn started coaching in 2018 in oce got results in oce moved to lcs academy thats the normal way of coaching progression yes he came in with 2 players whom he coached previously and got results it is not like he was a player and now he is a head coach with and whole coaching staff is from oce like how is it any similar? >But wait they finished 2nd - I guess it's fine who cares... exactly! team got results so they are doing something right if ggs finished the split 1st no one would question their decision making/hiring process thats how competitive sports works
@@Go0dToBeBad I don't really care about Spawn. I wanted to show the double standards in judging the coaching staff. Dom didn't care about OCE results he wrote off the whole region as bad because he thinks that way. Inero managed to get 5th in regular season last split, then beat TSM 3-0 and then lost 2 matches to TL and TSM. Noone did care about his staff. Did Inero prove himself as a headcoach? I would say he did. So why after spring split with this roster is he accused of hiring someone incompetent? Does Dom know how much they pay all those OCE coaches - if players are full budget maybe coaching staff is too? Does Dom have inside info that those coaches are bad at their job or is he talking out of his ass? I am sure if Inero hired one of Dom's friends the problem would be non-existent.
I think there is one way 100T can bring in Damonte and not look like clowns and that is by aggressively promoting, that they only put in ry0ma to make Damonte try hard in soloq and grind all day to get his spot back. If they win against DIG or atleast have a competitve series and if Damonte doesn't completely shit the bed they could probably get out of that situation. Any objections?
Not to be that guy but i have to disagree with everyone here on Facecheck. When that Dominos pizza comes everything is worth more than the nexus otherwise i won't be able to enjoy that cheesy goodness.
I thought about this last week and even more so this week. On the topic of coaches and conjecture about why teams/orgs are having issues: I would like to see GMs or even the LCS/Riot have people like LS and Dom to "audit" these teams. Have them sit in on calls and coaching and scrims to see who/what is the problem. It seems like these teams need third party supervision if they actually want to improve, or maybe they don't want to improve and they don't deserve to have a spot in the league.
Edit: right after I finished this they basically brought up the same thing. I really think there should be a system in place like this, maybe not Dom but somebody!
LS double malding at the clip was amazing to watch and listen to.
People undervalue Dgon on this show. He really keeps the show grounded for me
Yeah he is more of an entertainer than an analyst to me and he is good at being a moderator
